Couple of years ago, the St Hugo parent introduced a super-$$$ cuvee of 'St Hugo' called "Vetus Purum", with labels in generally gold font on white, and "Vetus Purum" in a central band on the label. There were two 2010 bottlings - a Coonawarra cabernet, and a Barossa Shiraz. Sinec then, their website indicates a 2013 and 2015 cabernet are also available. I can find no evidence of other vintages, nor of any shiraz other than the initial 2010.
The CT entries are a mess, with plenty of the 'regular' bottling (with bottle numbers) now showing up under these entries.
It's not helped by the fact the words 'vetus purum' appear in small font as part of the crest on the label of the regular bottling, as opposed to the front-and-centre of these special efforts.

Fixed.

There is a 2013 Shiraz review from Halliday, so we have to consider that valid as well.
